Vilt Chamberlain, a gigant who forced the NBA to modify his rules

If only two NBA titles (1967 and 1972), the Celter’s mistake Bill Russell, Vilt Chamberlain It remains one of the greatest players in a dream history that will probably not be beaten. We obviously think about it His match at 100 pointsBut also an average of 50.4 points in the season, or is an average of 48.5 minutes on average. Yes, thanks to the extra time, Vilt Chamberlain played more than the normal life of the NBA match.

Exceptional athletes, talented in a great jump and in his lap, it was such a physical crook that the NBA was forced to change his rules to limit his dominance in the game.

Wider racket, offensive “goal”

The combination of size, power and speed speed was almost insoluble to defenders, especially because the racket is smaller at the time.

Like in NCAA, at the time it was only 3.66 meters. Therefore, it is allowed to take a low position to Vilt Chamberlain and then use its gigantic relaxation and hands to push the ball in a circle, either using dunk or “roll”.

To restrict the impact “Pouch“The NBA has therefore decided to change the racquet, although it has spread to 4.88 meters. Vilt Chamberlain has had to go from the circle, enough to help restrict its efficiency to restrain its efficiency.

Athletic phenomenon and endowed with more than 1m20 (while he was 2m16 and he had 2m34), turns, and the league also forceed to adopt an offensive “goalkeeper” no longer entitled to touch the ball when he was still in the cylinder.

He was also for him that the NBA decided to prevent reproduction from crossing the basket. Vilt Chamberlain was so powerful and his relaxation so impressive, even without swing, that his teammates only had to launch the ball through the basket as they waited for him to recover or push him in a circle.

From a long jump on free throw

Bad throwing shooters, turning (51.1% of career success) also tried to use the rules of time to improve their percentage. During its beginnings in the NBA, it was possible to shoot throwing forward threading. By taking one or two steps from the racket head, we make sure he could knock the ball in the circle. Anyway, he could drop the ball at a very short distance from the basket.

The league therefore decided to ban firing shooting shooting, forcing him to remain behind the line.

If the NBA has always changed its rules, no player has forced it so much to adapt as Vilt Chamberlain. Evidence of its individual domination, one of the greatest athletes in the history of sports in general.
